Adding these profiles to your daily scroll will help you get quick, sourced information on conscious and sustainable fashion.
Recently, I made a reel video about starting a conscious fashion journey with any small action possible. It can be as simple as reading about the industry and its ground reality. Even for me, this journey started from reading one article at a time. Some stats were shocking, and some just heartbreaking. I didn't start with the intention of action. My choice to go on a shopping ban or shop for secondhand fashion and talk about it was because I was reading the facts.
I feel this can be an easy and eye-opening step towards conscious fashion for anyone. So, where did I start getting the information? I started reading articles by organizations that disseminate such information and even started following their profiles on Insta. Scrolling through these different profiles gave a good understanding of the supply chain and its issues. Listing a few of them that have regular, informative content:
